These are incredibly beautiful cats, aww.
It's best to copy the image link themselves (right click, copy image link) and then embed them as images:
Thanks for the tips Weltall, going to speak to my SO about this as well to see what we can do. Most of their fights seem to focus on either near the litter boxes (we have 2 at the moment and it's really weird to see them fight about it since they shared 1 back before we moved and never had any problems) and near the staircase. It's almost always the younger one starting shit too not the older cat. The younger one likes to stay on one of the steps of the stairs to try to block the older cat from going to the second floor.
We plan to do so when we move, we're only in a studio right now so even if our place technically has two floors, it's all very small and there isn't a good spot to put in another box at the moment. Might try to separate the two at least somehow.
I have one cat you can pet all day long with no fuss and another that gets overstimulated easily. The best thing you can do with the overstimulated cat is to simply stop petting them once they get to their threshold. After some time, you can figure out their tells. The one that gets overstimulated will start to turn her mouth toward my hand and slightly opens her mouth, and I know that's it. I don't push her out of my lap or walk away from her (which just makes her act dejected). I just stop petting her and she can decide if she wants to exit the lap or walk away. Conversely, she will also let me know to keep petting her because if I stop before she really wants, she will pet me back. She doesn't really communicate that way with my wife, but my wife also doesn't pet them as actively as I do because she didn't really grow up with animals the way I did.
Looking like he'll be fine, other than him being a gigantic princess. Two dogs crossed the street (while their owner was with them, no less, but no leash or collar on either) while I was walking him and tried to attack the two of us. At least we saw the address they came from, and pretty sure there was a witness from another house too.
Oh, they weren't being walked. they were just hanging out in their front yard with their owner and came across. Their owner didn't even stand up until we were being attacked, and even then he just yelled at the dogs!
Yeah, it's fine :) Been reported to council etc. too, who are following it up. Will also be dropping a letter in their letterbox with the vet invoices/receipts!
I was going to ask if the dogs were leashed or not. How hard is it to leash dogs?! That's so frustrating. We constantly see unleashed dogs in our area and it drives me bonkers. Our dog is a small rat terrier too, so half of these dogs could eat him for breakfast if they wanted.

Unleashed dogs in public are illegal in my city. They're only allowed in designated off leash areas. A lot of pet injuries and even deaths can be prevented if a city has leash laws.
Mind if IWhen we got the kittens we picked from a litter of 4. There were 3 orange and 1 black kitten. We adopted 1 orange and the black kitten, a boy(orange) and a girl(black) according to their momma's owner.
When we brought them to the vet a few days later he told us they were both boys. Then when we brought them back for their boosters 5 weeks later we were informed that the ginger was a girl.
They were very fluffy so its understandable that it was hard to tell and of course we love them no matter what but it was pretty funny for them to keep changing gender.

Oh, this guy looked like a complete no-hoper deadshit so I doubt he cares about anyone but himself and his beers :/
Without the fur he shows his pudgy gut. He's gonna win a lot of staring contests too.Nails done, he was a good boy all the time.
Like what? Something you can put on the balcony? Why don't you just fence it in?
That would be a fair point if our HOA wasn't fucking insane! Haha. So I was thinking of a big play pen for them that has a roof haha 😂
You know, we've literally never heard Taika hiss or get too aggressive, either with Kiki or giant greyhound brother Jasper. Ergo, we haven't heard Kiki hiss either, perhaps because her cat bro hasn't either.
Haha yeah its not the most flattering pose! He's quite slim still! My mother always gives him extra treats when she visit because she thinks he is too slim.
That's a common comment about Sphynx too. They are very warm to the touch. It's like having a velvet hot water bottle. Since they like to cuddle a lot you always have a lap and hand warmer.
